The correct way to compile crafty on OSX would simply be to type "make darwin"
in the crafty directory. This sets the correct compilation options for OSX,
including solving the above problem. (Darwin is the open source core of OSX).

However I seem to recall that there is a bug introduced into the 19.15 source
code which prevents proper compilation on OSX after"make darwin" - it can be
fixed with a little know-how, but it is probably easier just to pick up Joshua's
precompiled binary.
